I am a kind and approachable psychotherapist and counsellor and I offer a warm, confidential environment where I work with consideration and clarity. I believe that therapy can offer a unique space where we can nurture our innate capacity to grow, make changes for ourselves and feel more in charge of our lives.
I work sensitively and intelligently in alliance with you, to support you to explore and understand your feelings and attitudes, allow you time and space to reflect, and ultimately help you find your own responses and solutions to support your well being.
Psychotherapy and Counselling with Lisa Wadeson MBACP (Reg)
Taking the first step to get support can feel frightening and overwhelming. There is no right place to start; we begin wherever you find yourself. Our sessions go beyond every day conversation; I will listen carefully and with empathy to your story. We may decide to explore aspects of earlier times in your life to identify patterns that helped you manage or keep our attention in the present. However we proceed, it will be in collaboration.
You may be considering therapy because you are struggling with a situation or relationship that you feel you cannot manage. Or you could feel that you are repeating patterns that don’t work for you. Perhaps you feel angry, sad or stuck but can’t identify the cause.
Living a full and satisfying life can encompass many challenges. These can sometimes lead to stress and anxiety, depression and leave us unable to connect with ourselves or others.
I offer compassionate professional support to help you navigate whatever is troubling you. I came to this work through my own experience of therapy and I bring integrity, creativity and flexibility to the process.
I’m a Northerner who settled “down South’ many years ago and I understand the struggles associated with life changes. I am a partner, a mother of teenagers, a working woman balancing commitments, a friend and a colleague.
Alongside my private practice and as part of belonging to a wider community I have worked for a charity for the past 7 years supporting vulnerable and oppressed groups to offer an opportunity to those would not normally be able to access psychotherapy.
